Howard is not in the lineup for Saturday's game against the Rockies, Matt Breen of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

He will sit in favor of Tommy Joseph at first base with lefty Tyler Anderson due up for Colorado, as is standard whenever the Phillies face a lefty. Howard has been dreadful against right-handers as well this season (.161/.227/.367) and the team figures to continue the process of phasing him out as the we progress through the end of the season (and the end of Howard's tenure in Philly).
